I am new to CNC, but have been reading up on it for quite a while now (started about a year ago). I need a small CNC that can mill very fine detail. What I want to do with it is take model kit parts I have, which I will redesign in CAD, and mill pieces that are either half the (linear) size or twice. I build Star Wars studio scale replicas, and am interested in making models that are either half studio scale or twice - need a machine that can allow me to replicate the detail parts.
Has a machine like this been built before?
I figure with a small machine, I should be able to control the accuracy/precision. Is this incorrect?
I can tell that for some parts, more than 3 axes would be best...
Please give me your input!
